Cost to Operate
The cost to operate a space heater will vary depending on the type of
space heater you use and the room you are heating. A good general formula
for calculating cost is Kilowatts x Rate x Time = Cost.
-
Kilowatts - Setting the heater will run on. (Divide watts by 1,000
to get Kilowatts p/hr)
-
Rate - The cost of electricity per kilowatt hr, determined by your
utility company.
-
Time - The length of time you will be running the heater.
For example, a 1,500 watt space heater running for 10 hours at a rate of
$.10 per kilowatt hour will cost $1.50.
